[This article declares: This story is pure fiction, if there is any similarity, it is purely a coincidence, do not sit in the right seat. 】
Wang Qiang, 49, is a chef who spends his days at the restaurant.
As a senior "wok", Wang Qiang's specialty is stir-frying. Whether it's a home-cooked stir-fry or a staple dish of a big hotel, it's all under him.
But Wang Qiang has a "small problem", that is, he likes to put soy sauce in stir-frying, especially light soy sauce. Stir-fried, braised and fish-flavored...... In every dish, there are always a few spoonfuls of soy sauce.
Over time, he gradually realized that there was something wrong with his body - his face was dull, his calves were swollen, and he was out of breath even when he went up the stairs.
Under the repeated urging of his wife, Wang Qiang reluctantly came to the hospital and hung up for a physical examination. After some examination, the doctor frowned: "Do you usually like salty food?" Especially soy sauce? "
Wang Qiang looked surprised: "Doctor, I'm just a cook, how can I stir-fry without soy sauce?" Besides, soy sauce enhances the flavor, how can it taste enough without soy sauce? "
The doctor sighed: "According to the test results, your blood pressure is as high as 175/100mmHg, and the blood sodium concentration is also significantly high, which is suspected to be caused by a long-term high-salt diet." If it goes on like this, beware of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents. "
"That'...... So what should I do? "
"First of all, we should eat a low-salt diet and eat less high-salt foods such as soy sauce and pickled foods."
The doctor advised, "Exercise more often to maintain a healthy weight." "
Walking out of the hospital, Wang Qiang was thoughtful. As a chef, he always thought that as long as the food was delicious, he didn't expect that behind the deliciousness, there was a health crisis.
Wang Qiang's experience is the epitome of countless "delicious mouths".
Among them, high-salt condiments such as soy sauce and pickled vegetables are one of the "culprits".
The most direct consequence of a long-term high-salt diet is high blood pressure. Hypertension is the number one "killer" of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
It is estimated that hypertension causes up to 2.1 million premature deaths each year.
Especially for middle-aged and elderly people, excessive salt intake is a fast lane to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
How to stay away from "salt"? Learn to read the label and choose low-salt foods. Advocate a light diet and eat less pickled and fried foods.
In addition, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, exercising moderately, and maintaining an optimistic attitude are all good ways to prevent high blood pressure. Regular physical examinations, early detection and early treatment should not be neglected.
Under the temptation of food, don't forget the bottom line of health. Less salt, more love, make life more flavorful, make life more exciting.
Light soy sauce is like a flavoring agent in life, a moderate amount can make the taste buds bloom, and too much can endanger health. Finding the "best ratio" of salt intake, enjoying delicious food, and reaping health are the best gifts to life.
Write at the end
Let's start now and integrate "less salt" into every bit of our lives. With healthy taste buds, taste the five flavors of life, and use wisdom to draw a beautiful picture without "salt".
